awesome beiing in rc state, that leaves me a small amount of spare time. I decided to spend it on rebuildd. I had started the 0.3.0 version back in August, but never touched it again until now.

I was afraid because I did not remember in which state I left the code repository. And, good surprise, the code was in a quite good shape!

I just implemented and fixed some stuff that were reported on the BTS, and then, I only had to test it out.

For that I used the servers kindly provided by TuxFamily.org:

  • whisky: 6 x Pentium III @ 700 MHz/L2 1 MB + 1.7 GB RAM
  • octave: 8 x Pentium III @ 500 MHz/L2 2 MO + 2 GB RAM

I stored the MySQL database on whisky. filled it with rebuildd-job add-quinn-diff (new feature in 0.3.0) and then started rebuildd on each node. And then I saw the 2 hosts starting to grab, lock jobs, build packages on each side. Wonderful. That just works. :-)

rebuildd-job stats says that 20 % of the archive is now built in less than 24h, seems fast, cool.

Bad point is that I'm building and trashing logs into /dev/null because I've no QA idea to implement right now.
